I have kind of a basic question. Are the releases cumulative? In other words, if you download and install the 3rd update release (for example), does the third release include the 1st and 2nd releases or do you have to do them in sequence?

Every new firmware release is complete and independent.

Im not to sure but it should be cumulative that is the newer firmware should contain the previous one. Tha means if there is two firmware update and you didnt install the previous one you can just download and install the newer one without any problem. At least that is how i have done it before.

That's a shame: so many firmware with new functionalities and updates for that prosumer camera, and almost any for the professional and expensive 1D IV: the only EOS still without manual sound control.

Supposedly, "Improves writing/reading speeds when using UDMA 7-compatible CF cards." However, it also improved performance with fast UDMA6 cards. In some testing I performed recently, a SanDisk Extreme Pro 90 MB/s card on a 5DII with 2.0.8 was barely faster than an old 20 MB/s card. With 2.0.9, the 90 MB/s card outperformed (albeit slightly) a 60 MB/s card.

4k video anyone ;-) It will probably fix a few misspelt menu options in Latvian and or Aluet. It would be awesome to see something big but the .1.1 tends to suggest minor tweaks, anything major would likely have demanded a .2.0

We have found the following 2 phenomena in cameras with firmware version 2.0.9.1.Shooting stops after capturing one image when in continuous shooting or the Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) continuous shooting setting.
